R&B star Monica took to the stage in Baltimore this past weekend to perform a special concert. During her set, the veteran journeyed back to her past hits as well as giving live renditions of her newer material. Above you can see how she faired with new single ‘Everything To Me’, as well as buzz single (and the theme to her BET reality series) ‘Still Standing’. As ever, Ms. Arnold knocked it out of the park. Can’t wait for the album.
Tidbit: According to the video description, Mo was actually sick over the weekend, however you’d never be able to tell judging by how great she sounded here.

It’s not that she can’t sing, I think the reason why monica isn’t doing as good as she used to is b/c of her production team. She isn’t getting the promo she should be getting and that reality show isn’t enough either. I also think she should change her producers she works with. Try something new!!
Umm WRONG! Sorry not this time around..Monica realizes what needs to be done. She has been doing her thing building up buzz. She has been all over NEw Orleans, Alabama, New York, Miami, Baltimore, and just left Pittsburgh! Her schedule is back and this single is an instant hit. Ask anyone who listens to real music. This is the Monica they want. I can’t wait until she blows people who doubt her out the water. She knows what she is doing. People kill me swear they know so much about this business. She got this.
*Team MONICA* got her back and we not letting her lose this time around! Everything to Me goes to radio January 26 get ready to request it and put a real vocalist on top!
Monica wasnt doing well because the singles that were picked werent her it wasnt the music she had been giving fans for number of years. But now she knows what her fans want and she said it herself you either want a gimmick or real music her fans obviously choose real music. Weather she sells like she use to wont matter because all in the end if she is pleasing her fans then nothing else matters.
Kayla I could not agree more! Yes we want real music and not get up and shake ya @ss every ten minutes. That good ol’ touch your soul vocals! *Team Monica*
go mo!
Monica knows what went wrong the last time around and she’s doing everything to change that so sorry haters i know you wanna see her down but she still standing and here to stay lol.
I went to da concert n it was one of da worst I been to.. the opening acts was Paula campbell, algebra n Eric robertson (I think) they all give ok performances they perform longer each of them performed for 30mins.. Monica was 3 hrs late.. n she performed about 10songs that lasted for 30mins.. she came out lip singing.. or mayb her mic was broke but after that it was a gd performance.. what messed the show up was her lateness n the lil time she performed
This performance is flawless!!! Monica, as always, brought her A-game, she’s not playing around. Her time to shine is now and yáll better support this movement.
TEAM MONICA
ONE OF THE TRUE RNB SINGERS LEFT FROM THE OLD SKOOL TRAINING. HER LIVE STAGE PRESENCE IS GETTING BETTER WITH THE AUDIENCE INTERACTION. YOU CAN HEAR THE WHITNEY INFLUENCE IN HER VOCAL STYLING TOGETHER WITH THE GOSPEL/RNB ROOTS. TOO BAD SHE DOESNT SELL. SHE NEEDS A BETTER PR TEAM TO GET ON THE HIGH PROFILE TALK SHOWS AND TV EVENTS.
my girl did it again! welcome back Mo!
@Eain i was there too and despite her being late and the opening acts being boring she did show out and killed her performances.When she first came out her mic was messed up but they fixed it oh and she was only booked for 20 minutes and she stayed for 30 so hey i was pleased.
Monica is doing all the right things. from doing shows all over to twitter to facebook to myspace. She is hitting it hard this time! and NO ONE sells like they used to. but MOnica is back and im support her 200%%%
@Truth i agree with everything you said except for the part about her not selling she’s 20 plus million sold in this game and everybody can’t do that.
Not trynna be funny by any means…but are there enough people caring about her project to make an impact on the charts?(and I’m talking about R&B cahrts, cuz really weres the money in that)
Ok first of all @ EAIN I was there at the concert. She does not lip sing AT ALL. Her mic was messed up and they fixed it so move on from that. She actually stayed longer than she was suppose to. If you would have asked you would have known! Next to JOR people are checking for her. People want real music. Just like that Melonie Fiona song came out and blew up on the charts so will Monica. We need ballads and they know Monica will deliver. Who gives a damn about record sells. Not many people are selling that well like they use to back in the day. Its a common and well known fact that people arent buying CDS no more. She is pleasing her fans this time and not conforming whats being played on the radio. Go Monica we got your back! *TEAM MONICA*
GOOD MONICA COMING BACK FINALLY SOME REAL R&B MUSIC..AND SHE KILLED IN BALTIMORE…LOVE HER VOICE
Monica Lip-Sync lol… AS IF!!!!
Even when she’s ill she tries her best.
Love her relation for STILL STANDING for the poor peoples in devastation in Haiti !!!!
Funnily enough i will say that Monica’s last album The Makings Of Me was really good EXCEPT that song ETTBD!!!
If i was promoting that album singles are!
1st: Sideline HO
2nd: Hell No!!
3rd: My Everything (SONG IS BIG!!! & sum real RnB with meaning)
This time around will be interesting, but all i know is that Love All Over Me has to be maybe 3rd single now that Everthing To Me is 1st.
2nd single should maybe be more club friendly like Betcha, Let Me Know kinda vibes
TEAM MONICA!! sTiLL StAnDiNg!!
@ Antertain…The Makings of Me is hottttt! My people heard it for the first time last summer and agreed that people slept on it !
Monica straight killed it…..She is a dope singer ……I see she still has haters smh.
MONICA’S VOCALS ARE SUPERB. HATERZ CANT STOP THE MOVEMENT
@ Khalil
Damn right the only thing was that album was so short in time and track numbers as well. STINGY J-Records
Jus playing the Song “RAW” from that album. Pure swagger and even that had more appeal than Everytime the Beat Drop.
I didn’t hate that song, it just wasn’t Monica single material
I love her song Everything to me,dat song soo damn Hottt!!! Im soo ready 4 her album!!!!
Monica is killing wit that record. She doing everything right this time. Why yall keep saying she flopped, “Makings Of Me” sold 1,000,000 copies. According to J Records. Now flop that!
HOPEFULLY SHE CAN DO 150-175K DEBUT WEEK. I DOUBT IT THERE’S WISHFUL THINKING…
@ Antertain & Khalil
I thought I was the only one that thought The Makings of Me was slept on although the singles weren’t of best choice but that album was HOT!! And “RAW” is my shyt!!!! Then the bonus track was fyre…..”Thanks for the Misery”
@ Antertain & Khalil I must agree with B-Real..
I know that listening to the fans is important but somethings telling me the same people who say “Real Music” are the same folks that forget about the young people. What do u think their interpretation of real music is? Monica needs to straddle the pop/r&b fence, Soul artist arent SELLING. with the exception of Maxwells amazing comeback u gotta find an in between sound ….Honestly this single sounds tooo Mature to capture white,black, young and old…Hope it does well anyway because she is such a major TALENT, If “Everything to me” doesnt work they can always rush to another single like “One In A Lifetime”. It dont get much more commercial r&b/Pop than that. She will do Well Because like she said on the show this time she is in a good place so God wont let a hard working girl like herself Fall…
THE MUSIC MONICA IS DOIN NOW SOUNDS GREAT LUV IT!!! THE NEXT ALBU MM SHE SHUD DO SUM OF THE SAME TYPE MUSIC WITH SUM DALLAS AUSTIN SONGS LIKE BAK IN THA DAY AND THAT WOULD MAKE THE PERFECT ALBUM!! IF U AINTGOT STIL STANDING GOGET IT NOW !! THAT IS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT SHE REALLY CAN SANG!!!!!!!
I SEE LOTS OF GRAMMIES FOR HER IF HE R LABEL DON MESS HER UP BUT THIS
ALBUM DESERVES LOT OF GRAMMMIES!!!
